“Land I Never Owned” Verse 1 A smile at a data pad with a line on the screen, “Baron Staples,” Is Tone Knell said, like I knew what it means. Peninsula carved where the cold rivers bend, Burnt woods, old towns, where the past doesn’t end. I stared at the map, felt my balance give way, Bought dreams with my credits, not dirt or clay. I said, “I fly fighters, I don’t rule the land, I’ve never held soil in the palm of my hand.” Pre-Chorus Ruins still whisper where revolutions died, History breathing just under the tide. What do you do when the weight finally lands, And the future is drawn in invisible plans? Chorus This was never my dream, the stars I’m to rome, Never my burden, never my home. I was born to the sky, to engines and flame, Hay Go Now knows my face, now knows my name. If this land is mine, I’ll learn how to stand, I’ll break and rebuild with my blood and my hands. ________________________________________ Verse 2 “You’re no commoner now,” said the voice of the law, “By princess’s will, you are something more.” Fields left empty, forests half-dead, Ash in the valleys where the wildfires spread. “Do nothing,” Is Tone Knell said, “or build something real,” The choice cut deeper than forged iron or steel. I followed the rivers, the trees, the shore, And remembered a mill and the work I knew before. Pre-Chorus Food feeds the people, wood fuels the fire, A world doesn’t turn without sweat and wire. I didn’t want power, didn’t ask to command, But the gears keep grinding whether I stand or I stand. Chorus This was never my dream, the stars I’m to rome, Never my burden, never my home. I was born to the sky, to engines and flame, Hay Go Now knows my face, now knows my name. If this land is mine, I’ll learn how to stand, I’ll break and rebuild with my blood and my hands.. ________________________________________ Bridge Blue cordial in cups, meat hot on the plate, Laughter like armor, holding back fate. For once I was still, felt the sun, felt the wind, Felt something human crawl back in my skin. ________________________________________ Final Chorus This was never my dream, the stars I’m to rome, But mercy’s a weight you don’t carry alone. If this land is mine, then so is the blame, So is the mercy, so is the flame. I’ll tend what I’m given, I’ll answer the call, I never owned land— But I won’t let it fall. Outro A pilot still learning the cost of command, Not born to the title, but as a Baron I’ll stand. I never owned soil, never planned to be known… But the world kept turning, And gave me a home. And Please, just call me Wyatt.
